Joshua Ledet delivered a performance that’s sure to be seen on the show’s highlight reels for years to come with his stirring rendition of Mariah Carey's cover of Badfinger's Without You.
"You are a phenom!" Judge Jennifer Lopez told Ledet. "You are an absolute angel from heaven. That voice is a godsend!"

Also impressing the judges to the tune of standing ovations was Jessica Sanchez singing Beyonce's Sweet Dreams; Phillip Phillips taking on Jonny Lang's Still Rainin'; and Deandre Brackensick singing Eric Benet's Sometimes I Cry.
"That's what your voice was made to do," Tyler told Brackensick.
